(Minute-Man 002, 1941)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Genghis Khan the Second, like our poor deceased pal Stuporman<\/a>, is a giant quasi-superhuman imported from far-off Mongolia by a gang boss for use as exotic muscle.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The difference between Stuporman ad our guy here, however, is that he is not content to be anyone’s stooge. Genghis Khan the Second bumps off his would-be masters on page 2 of the story and promptly sets his Mongolian Horde to looting and pillaging the countryside using their mastery of horse-mounted archery (I assume). It’s honestly the gang boss’ own fault he gets it in the neck – imagine assuming that someone who chose the nae Genghis Khan the Second<\/i> being content to act as second fiddle in what appears to be a two-person gang.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Of course the Army eventually gets involves, and Minute-Man, as part of that army, ends up dropping a mountain on the whole lot of them. It’s fine. The real star of the story for me is the teen in the above image – I reckon that those middle three panels are one of the better bits of comedy I have seen in a Golden Age comic.<\/p>\n

ADDENDUM: forgot to mention that the guy who imports GKII and his Mongol Horde lives in one of the castles of California’s popular Castle District.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
